Hi, EBay 5050 SMD for handguards, nice and bright, I like them, also had a failure on one of my older style LED strips, I think the seller is D1_Concept but not 100% sure right now, there is a thread "daytime running lights in handguards"...

A week ago. At first I was excited I was buying from an American retailer. Figured CA to CO 3 days even ground shipping.

The tracking number says "China" and no expected arrival date.

How long did you guys who ordered DDM Tuning kits wait in shipping?

Charlie,

Im certainly no expert but I think all of them are made in China. I had a unit that was well documented on this site and they said they "shipped from China to keep overhead down." So far, my '09 GSA has given four HID units "the Heisman." I'm waiting now for another unit and, if it doesn't perform, I'm done with HID. I am running Eclipse HID lights in place of the OEM fogs and have had no problem at all. I spliced them into the original wiring, too.

DDM shipped in ~1 week from China to US for me with tracking # provided, the relay harness (didn't use it) they shipped from their US location.

Mine was 2-3 weeks. I was getting to where I needed it and I called to see what the hold up was. They shipped from china that "day" then it was a week I believe. When I reworked the DRZ the DDM kits was the last of all my items to arrive. I think it was 4-5 weeks (max) for it.

Finally got the DDM kit installed just before a trip to Yellowstone. Works perfectly!
When following cars at night they seem to pull over more often to let me by then before. I have not been getting flashed by oncoming cars at all. Overall this was a GREAT inexpensive upgrade.

I know the little knob adjust the height of the beam, but I can't seem to appreciate any movement of the low beam HID (I still have the high beam OEM bulb in), is there way to adjust the low beam without affecting the high beam?

I think mine move as one unit...

Ordered two H7 "Sportiva" kits from ebay last week. Can't wait to get them in and find a nice place to tuck them away. I will post pics... going on an 06, and they are the 35 watt 6000k. Hoping for no LAMPF issues, we'll see

both reflectors move at the same time, you need to turn the knob pretty often in order to see a difference.
Turning to the black plastic knob (screw) to right will lower the beam, before you turn you press the lever (lowers the beam completely), then turn and then pivot the lever back up...

100W tank bag HID?!
That installation sounds adventurous, no melting wires?
Personally I'd not consider this a good approach but neither is a 35W HID kit considering
the problematic beam pattern and the "CAN-Bus" related implications....

And I must say that it is much brighter than the original light. Much easier driving at night. And surprisingly, i did not bother anyone around.
I did notice however that there was a faint glare coming out of the front, could be because the bulb may be a bit longer. For now my install is just a slapup job that i am running off an external battery in the tank bag.
Its a pity there isnt anyone around with whom i can compare this with.

The dreaded LAMPF, no good . 1 Off MotorSports has a Can-bus integrated ballast that works great. DDM is a good solution as well since they have a similar lifetime warranty on the whole kit. Seems as though both 1 Off MotorSports and DDM are pretty much the only two that do, other companies have limited warranty or pay for lifetime warranty and often times it doesn't cover the bulb(s).

BMW does a great job of switching things up from year to year in an effort to have customers buy directly from them. But overall having any HID's is better than riding with stock lighting.

...knowing what I know now I wouldn't convert mine to HID again, I was curious so I did it, converting Aux lights is a totally different matter and that actually makes a lot of sense I think...
